Abstract
- Transurethral removal of bladder or urethral stones in children is not easy and open removal of the stone is required in many cases because the urethra in a child is narrow and adequate equipment is not available. In a 6-year old boy with multiple urinary stones who had underwent vesicolithotomy twice before, we tried percutaneous removal of the bladder stones using suprapubic trocar and adult cystourethroscope set. Nelaton catheter was used as a guide wire in Seldinger technique while switching the instruments through the suprapubic cystostomy tract. With the same technique we removed a urethral stone in a 5-year boy successfully."
